Wow....I think the best player in the world argument is pretty much over for now.
The Argentina team may as well not go home.

They are awful without him.
They only won 1 of their 7 games in qualifying without Messi. He put them on his back to get them in the World Cup.
Does it matter? He wont be back in 2022 most likely.
I do think people overlook Croatia. There is some talent on that team that plays on some of Europe's best clubs.

He turns 31 on Monday. Only the USMNT employs 35 year old forwards. Argentina will have better options. Even winning Copa America would do very little, and the fact that it's Brazil makes that a more daunting task than usual. So yes, next week very well could be his final game.
Just watched the Argentina beat down. I was hoping Croatia would win. In that 2nd half they completely dominated. I wanted Messi to be great and go out with a bang, but he just doesn’t have it anymore and he has no help. Going in Croatia was my #2 team and they look very good right now.
Yes, it did. Argentina has a lifeline. You see the first Nigeria goal? Goal of the Tournament so far for me.

Could we see a 3 way tie at 4 points in Group D after the final game?
Iceland may play a pseudo B Croatia squad and Argentina will be hungry against Nigeria. I really wanted to pull for the Iceland story but they looked bad today. Nigeria from this point on, want to send Argentina home.

That’s quite the pelvis.
Good. The announcer that sounds constipated is calling the Mex match. I was afraid he’d call Germany’s.
Go Korea!

Mexican players spend as much time lying on the ground beggin for fouls as they do running. Ugh.
That South Korean goal was pretty sweet. Chicharito's was professional.
If I heard the announcers correctly, this would be the first time Germany has failed to advance to the knock out. That can't possibly be true?
It is absolutely true. Incredible, isn't it?

Well, I think they sorted some things out at halftime. 1-1 right out of the gates.
Well that was quick and takes a lot of pressure off. Germany looks like they're gonna try to score about 5 goals in the half.
Speaking of history, anyone see that Walter Bahr, the last American alive from the 1950 World Cup team that beat favorites England, died the day of the England game? Philadelphia Union will be wearing armbands in his memory for their native son tonight.
I'll have to rewatch later, but I thought that was a really dumb/greedy attempt by Reus on that ball from Muller.
Seems like Germany's going to need Mexico to beat Sweden and all Mexico will need to do is draw to win the group. That's of course assuming Germany will beat South Korea. Knock on wood.
